Joint tissue study for arthritis patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study examines joint tissue from people with different types of arthritis to understand the disease better. It may help researchers develop better treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have arthritis in at least one joint that your rheumatologist says is important enough for the study.
- You do not have any allergies to numbing medicines (local anesthetics).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners (like warfarin or clopidogrel).
- You can understand the study information in English, German, or French (the project languages).

This trial studies knee tissue to find better ways to diagnose early osteoarthritis. It may help people who need a knee injection for pain relief.
This study looks at people with early arthritis related to rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or psoriasis. Researchers want to understand how these early conditions behave and may help guide better treatment decisions.
This trial collects fluid from an inflamed joint in people with arthritis to study the joint. It may help researchers better understand joint disease and improve future testing or treatments.
This study looks at how a body signal called IL-23 may drive inflammation in spondyloarthritis (including joints) using samples from your care. It may help researchers identify which body cells and targets are involved, and how treatments could work better for active disease.
This trial measures levels of a protein called CCL-21 in the blood of people with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if CCL-21 levels relate to disease activity and could help track inflammation.
This study uses high-resolution scans and regular X-rays to see how bone erosions (bone wear) progress in people with rheumatoid arthritis over time. It may help researchers better understand disease changes and how to measure them.
